Please Recommend Stories Where the Heroine Transmigrates into a Book as the Villainess and Doesn't Follow the Plot!!
I absolutely don’t want stories where the heroine has to follow the original plot. If she transmigrates into a supporting female character and has to stick to the plot, she can’t do this or that, and might even get punished by the System if she does. It feels so frustrating. So I’m looking for stories where she doesn’t follow the plot.
I Want a Scheming Female Lead Who Slowly Draws the Male Lead Into Her Trap
A quick transmigration heroine completes missions, deliberately seducing the male lead to achieve a particular goal. Everything is under her control, and she's quite scheming. The male lead should preferably be the cool, aloof type.

I saw someone describe it as a tearjerker and commented that I wouldn't read it because I'm a total crybaby and didn't want to sob. But I couldn't resist. I ended up crying my eyes out late at night, and my sister even made fun of me. I want to find the person who recommended it and ask them to cover the cost of my tissues, but I can't find them anymore 😭

Good looking But I envy the male protagonist of this article so much. Born as a Celestial Dragon. . . It's not just about identity, either. . Just because it's Tian Li You don't have to do anything to have a bunch of great women hanging around for it. . And I feel like the male protagonist just likes to be like a duckweed. . . . The heroine's life is really tiring... . He worked hard to gain so-called power. . But this day-to-day thing has not stopped. . Secondly I don't understand. . Isn't the heroine's wealth and life still in the hands of others? . But if you want to abolish your wife. Without the support of the male protagonist. . Isn't it easy to kill a powerless woman? It is too easy to die quietly.
The heroine really won my heart. The feeling of doing everything possible just to live a better life for myself was so wonderful. She eliminated her opponents bit by bit, resisted the pressure from her elders and couldn't help herself. She immediately came up with a way to deal with it, leading the male protagonist step by step into deep trouble but she was unmoved. I really liked it. There is no stupidity at all like the male protagonist falling in love with her after giving him a small favor. She is too smart and uses her weakness to make the male protagonist feel guilty. But at the same time, I felt very sorry for the heroine, especially when she fell ill and had a high fever. She looked at Xiao Su as if she were her own daughter. She was very happy to see Xiao Su growing up little by little on her own, but at the same time, she felt sad that she was alone and helpless. She really wanted to hug Xiao Su. I can't help it, I just love the heroine when I watch her videos. It's really beautiful, highly recommended! Come on, author
Well written, but a little sad. From an impartial perspective, it is a story about a man's change of heart. Miaoyan is an imperfect lover, and their hearts gradually drift apart due to various accidents.
I love watching it, the heroine has a scheming mind and will plan for herself [sending my heart][sending my heart]
It's so beautiful. I love the plot of struggling to reach the flower of the mountain. The heroine is very strong and empathetic. The author writes it very well. Even the maid has rich personality charm. I stayed up late to finish it and look forward to the author's next plot. Now I can sleep peacefully.
Usually I don't read much ancient novels, but recently I have been reading some harem and prince stories. I don't think it's necessary that the writing style and vocabulary should be biased towards the ancient times, as long as the setting is reasonable. I really like my various settings of scheming female superiors. The goals are firm, the routines are one after another, and the male protagonist's body and mind are conquered. There is maybe a little love but not much friendship. Women in ancient times were in a difficult situation, and there was nothing wrong with a cousin planning for herself, not to mention she didn't hurt anyone else. At first, there was some resentment towards the hero's former childhood sweetheart, but later I saw that he had not touched her at all. They had gone through too much and both of them had changed. They were no longer the carefree and only friendships when they were young. The changes in status and environment had changed people's hearts. Even if there was no trace, they would not reach the end. I just hope that the following plot will be a sweet daily life. After all, Sisi has lived a hard life in the past. I want to see her show her ability, conquer the queen's house so that no one else has anything to say, and be a couple with her cousin for the rest of her life❤️ Don't risk your life to take a concubine. It's not easy to exchange military service for a gift of marriage. The two of you have to be good.
In fact, this is a hearty female competition, and there is no male lead. I guess this is the reason for the low rating, but the female competition is not objectionable. I just feel that it really has the flavor of ancient times, the logic is complete, and the emotions are gradual. Thank you, the author, for this good book
The whole book is good-looking, a bit of a fusion of the character settings of Dream of Red Mansions and The Legend of Zhen Huan. The characters' IQs are not very high, and all the plots and plots are weak and childish, and cannot stand up to scrutiny. It's actually quite fascinating without getting into the logic and details.
The heroine's scheming is full of infinite vitality. Although she takes the initiative to harm others, she only feels pitiful. It is not a sudden feeling, but she is calculating the hero's heart bit by bit. The plot is exquisite and the writing is smooth. It is really good (๑>◡<๑)👍🏻
The heroine of this book is different from the characters I have seen before. I think the novel character allows me to see what people with different personalities look like in the book. Even if someone reincarnates, they can't stop the girl's tenacity towards the goal. I really love this kind of portrayal of survival and calmness in adversity. But in fact, I didn't think that the male protagonist was the best choice for the girl at first, because he didn't have a very good character, but later As the plot deepens, it is not difficult to find that the male protagonist really likes the character of the girl in front of him. I look forward to the performance of the male protagonist when the true character of the girl is peeled off step by step later. The writing style of the author is really amazing 🥰 🥰 🥰 🥰 🥰 🥰 🥰 🥰 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
